Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure It's often called the world's most popular encyclopedia, but we'll uncover what you may not know about Wikipedia!

This is the first time perhaps ever there is a candidate winning who the establishment absolutely despises. Even Reagan had his supporters inside the Party, Trump has none and is turning over the tables of the moneychangers.

He is exposing the entire corrupt system.

illegal immigrants....maybe thirty years old....tops. Maybe younger...doesn’t speak English well...here’s a guy, came to America

>>But I think Beelow was born here.<<

really he’s from Ecuador....

Saudi role in 9/11 being discussed on Fox. Laura Ingraham says this is devastating material. Why was the Bush administration in such a hurry to get certain Saudi's out of the country?

I assume Manafort's appearance on Fox coincided with the time he aired on ABC. i assume his message was the same in both places, with the only difference being the questions from the interviewers. Not that the questions would be much different!

Thanks for loaning me the reporter badge, it's an honor. I'll return it in good shape.

[FreedBird]

Wallace just sounds like he is stupid. Who in the world thinks he an expert anymore? He does not enrich the conversation, he only vomits out his biases each week. The Fox news network has been hurt during this election season sometimes more than the candidates. Lots of people are turning this nonsense off. Maybe Wallace and Will want Hillary to win.

Hello Jane Long!

I hope you’re watching MTP!

Everyone else is watching FNS!

I am so impressed with Gov. Pat McCrory, R-N.C.!!!

F. Chuck Toadie tried his snarky, rude best to rile that wonderful, knowledgeable, charming man, to NO avail!!

Call me a new fan of NC’s governor!

In closing, Reince Priebus was his usual Limp Peenis.

P.S. Chris Matthews (at the RT) said Trump will win enough delegates to win the nomination)! YES!

[bray]

Georgie’s snarky remark about Trump being a liberal was par for his course. He thought he was clever and all you could say is, you calling someone a liberal? Really? All of those years on ABC and you have the nerve to say who is and isn’t a Conservative? You?

[Kahuna]

Years ago in California it was a status symbol to hire a Japanese gardener. Many were illegal and were willing to do some undesirable work to carve out a living. Of course over the years as a race, the Japanese assimilated into the American culture and succeeded in both higher education and in the white collar business world. Not really sure why I bring this up and there is always a danger associated with generalizations.

[Cboldt]

-- This is the first time perhaps ever there is a candidate winning who the establishment absolutely despises. --

I think there are actually many of those, most unheard of. Ron Paul had the most popular support, and I agree, he probably had more party support (he was a senator, after all) than Trump. The Trump phenomenon is totally unprecedented in US history, but I'll wager there are historical parallels.

I think the people have a sense that the system is corrupt, run by and for cronies, etc., but at the same time frustrated at having no way to even stick a wedge into it to start to break it up.

The system set the table for itself. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

I have been reading your Beelow posts and now I am not sure which one is worse; he was born in Ecuador and is here illegally, and that is why he does not get a driver license in Delaware, or in a later post you said (paraphrasing) "he might have been born here, I don't know..." and still he does not have a license.

It hits hard for people in Illinois like me, because several years ago an illegal bought an Illinois driver license from a DMV employee, then ended up driving a truck and losing a taillight assembly. That led to 6 kids dying in a minivan fire while their parents stood and watched it happen. (The kids could not get out, but the parents could.)

The reason so many people know details about this one is that it was the incident that led to former Governor George Ryan going to jail. (Of course, nobody ever speculated about whether or not the taillight would have fallen off the truck if Ricardo Guzman had actually passed the driver test.)

So, I have a very low threshold for anybody letting their favorite illegal slide through the system. Just like Rick Perry and the state of Texas funding college educations for their favorite illegals, I suppose you can do whatever you want with your money. But, please don't pretend that being or hiring illegals is a victimless crime.

You mean Ron Paul, the Congressman, not Rand the Senator.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Even Reagan had his supporters inside the Party, Trump has none and is turning over the tables of the moneychangers. He is exposing the entire corrupt system.

The Republican State Committees are private organizations, Trump is a private citizen. Trump has a penchant for threatening law suits. Even better would be a bunch of class action suits by the disenfranchised voters.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

[Jane Long]

I am now watching Maria’s show on FNC.

When I turned on MTP, George Clooney was coming up....the guy who complains about all of the big money involved in our political system....but who held the $300K/plate dinner for Her Thighness. Yuck.

[Cboldt]

-- You mean Ron Paul, the Congressman, not Rand the Senator. --

Yes, thank you! I meant Ron, the father.

[bray]

The Cabal can do one thing and that is count. They realize that CA is now their Alamo. He has taken it to the point with everyone against him except the people to the people who hate the West Coast hoping to stop their destruction.

Wait til he parks Trump 1 in LA and is staying at his world class Trump National Golf resort. The visuals are going to be spectacular.

Best election evah.

[Jane Long]

Newt on Maria’s show (FNC), now.

[chiller]

I feel soooooo much better. George Clooney at the top of MTP has made me see the error of my ways. But I did love Sanders fans throwing real money at Hillary’s motorcade outside Georgie’s digs.

[kabar]

He does not have a driver’s license....dear Lord...what a mess this country’s immigration system is. In Beelow I see it very clear.

I mention the Beelow story as it is quite germane to this election. What is Beelow’s story? Did he come here with his parents?

I, for one, would vote to keep Beelow here. In fact, I’d keep Beelow and send my daughter back to Ecuador.

I don’t have all the answers but I’ve been exposed to the problems quite well thank you.

Pat, good morning. I must say that I am very disappointed with your comments for many reasons.

First, immigration to America is a privilege, not a right. Conferring rights and privileges upon illegal aliens has a corrosive effect on the Rule of Law, the very foundation of our Republic. It is also a slap in the face to legal immigrants who have followed the rules and obeyed the laws. There are 4 million intending immigrants waiting their turn overseas to enter the U.S. legally. They have been screened, passed background checks, and physical examinations. Allowing illegal aliens to stay and work here puts them at the head of the line. It is unfair and illegal. When you reward something you get more of it.

This country's immigration system is a mess because we are not enforcing our existing laws. We have virtually open borders allowing illegal aliens, drug smugglers, and terrorists to enter at will. All of them present a danger to this country.

Beelow is in this country illegally. He is working illegally. Is he evading taxes? He is driving without a license and is probably not insured. Why should he be allowed to drive without a license? What kind of danger does he present to the public?

Personalizing illegal immigration using Beelow is something the left does to justify violating the Rule of Law. It doesn't matter how hardworking, honest, or personable he is. Beelow is a lawbreaker. Is he the kind of person we want as a citizen who flaunts our laws?

I, for one, would vote to keep Beelow here. In fact, I’d keep Beelow and send my daughter back to Ecuador.

I don’t have all the answers but I’ve been exposed to the problems quite well thank you.

Exposed to what problems? Immigrants, legal and illegal, use the welfare system to a much greater degree than the native born. They take jobs from Americans and depress wages. We have a labor surplus in this country with the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. We don't need more foreign workers.

We bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers. Since 1990, we have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants. 87% of the legal immigrants are minorities as defined by the USG. They are rapidly changing the demographics of this country. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem.

Racially diverse 'new majority' set to reshape US public schools--For the first time, classrooms in public schools are filled mostly by nonwhite students. The concerns of minority parents could change American schools and education policies.

[FreedBird]

It is very hard to like Will or Wallace. I do not need a lecture from them every Sunday morning. It is almost like they hate everyone who voted for Trump. Fox is going to lose a lot of people unless they become more fair and balance instead of less fair and balanced.

[Alas Babylon!]

Probably dragon flies, bats and small fish.
